No, he literally wrote them.

We have moral codes for a reason. Sometimes it might feel as if those morals are stopping you from doing what you want when you want. But when you sit back and think about it, most often you can see that the rules are there for a reason, that the greater good and greater happiness are better served by following the rules, not giving in to every lustful whim.

Mark my words. If you indulge these people they will rise again. It is important to kick a man when he is down, but it is much more important to kick him harder as he is getting to his feet again. Indulging your desire for logic, fairness and consistency is just selfish. You know the rules, KC. You practically wrote them.

Ha! Indeed. I am glad you didn’t say “dead giveaway”. I’d have felt more foolish than I do right now.

I thought the double use of the inappropriate apostrophe in one sentence was a giveaway, Deep Cower, but I should have realised that we cannot all be afficionado’s of such humour.

Was the apostrophe error a display of sarcasm, Ged? Because I don’t usually get sarcasm unless it is pointed out to me. Repeatedly. (Unless it is my own, in which case once is enough).

Brilliant plan, Howe.

“Post-it Note’s Rule”, as we grocer’s put it.

That’s all.

Why bother holding your own standards up when everyone else’s are slipping? Instead of angry letters to the press, just write a few mildly annoyed post-it notes and leave them at the bottom of your drive, and assume someone relevant will probably read one.

The most telling example: Alex Bowden was unable to find a single mention of Nandos this week:

Indeed, the chilling absence of Nandos demolition chatter tells me that cricketing standards as well as journalistic standards are racing to the bottom. I think I shall start writing angry letters to the press.
